Is there anyway to create an ID after someone registers

    I would the the person who registers to receive a unique numerical ID. So after they register the page would say something like “welcome, here is your challenge ID.” This would be something different than their username. Is this possible?

    Thanks!

    I am on WP version 3.6.1, BuddPress version 1.8.1

    Each new member automatically gets assigned a numerical ID which you can use for this purpose.

    <?php echo bp_loggedin_user_id(); ?> will display it on screen for the user if they are logged in.

    You mean different than their user_id ?

    You can create anything you like, such as integer assigned to a user.
    How you create it, where you store it and how you use it will require knowledge of WP, BP, php and mysql.

    @shanebp I think the OP just needs a unique numerical?

    Everyone that registers would get a unique ID.

    Example

    User 1 = 1001
    User 2 = 1002
    User 3 = 1003

    @aducale OK. In that case <?php echo bp_loggedin_user_id(); ?> would work so long as the user is logged in when viewing the page.

    Thanks for trying to help. They wouldn’t be logged in yet because they haven’t registered.

    Uh?

    So after they register the page would say something like ‘welcome, here is your challenge ID’

    Sorry for the confusion, but yes, that’s exactly what I would want.
